Producer Mike Dean was apparently irked when Kanye West’s album Donda — which he produced — didn’t win the Album of the Year award at Sunday’s Grammys, and seemed to take it out on BTS.

Dean initially attempted to engage, mocking claims that BTS write “90 percent of their music,” and continued to dig in. After awhile, the relentlessness of the ARMY apparently became too much, and Dean responded with an all-caps apology to BTS, admitting he was “JUST F**KING TROLLING.” He ended by admitting he was “mad about album of the year and made a post I shouldn’t have made,” adding that his girlfriend “just made me feel bad for it.”
